Back

Chapter 697: Two Years of Change

Xu Mumu had only been in the hospital for two days before she requested to go home to recuperate.

Back at home, Xu Mumu felt as though she hadn’t been back for a long time.

Just as Xu Mumu returned, the little fox wanted to leap onto her shoulder, but it was immediately stopped by Yin Yang. The young wife’s shoulder was still injured, although mostly healed, it wasn’t allowed for the little fox to jump on it.

Xu Mumu smiled, and Doudou picked up the little fox, preventing it from jumping onto its mom.

Xu Mumu wanted to sit on the sofa for a while, but Yin Yang sent her to lie on the bed instead. Lying on the bed, Xu Mumu began contemplating what she would do next.

Taking out the Jade Pendant from her clothes, Xu Mumu looked at the Reincarnation Jade; the pendant was still a light white without much change.

According to the little elf, the pendant needed to be charged, and the way to do that was by doing good deeds. Of course, during this period, it would be best if she could control her emotions. Her soul was unstable now, and she couldn’t use the pendant’s energy to suppress her soul.

To do good deeds, she had to come up with a plan.

Yin Yang brought in a glass of milk and saw his little wife lost in thought, quietly sitting beside her.

"What are you thinking about?" Yin Yang asked as the milk was almost cold, finally speaking up when he saw his wife still pondering.

"Oh, you’re here. Close the door, I have something important to discuss with you," Xu Mumu said seriously.

"What is it?" Yin Yang got up to close the door, not forgetting to place the milk in front of Xu Mumu, "Drink more milk to nourish yourself."

Xu Mumu took the cup and drank all the milk; pure, yet not fishy, with a nice taste.

Xu Mumu explained in detail to Yin Yang what she learned from the little elf inside the Reincarnation Jade. She mainly wanted to ask for his opinion, as the place she stayed in her past life wasn’t a good one—it was very dangerous, the order was collapsed.

"What’s your take?" Xu Mumu looked into Yin Yang’s eyes, hoping to receive an answer from him.

"Do I even need to say? Of course, I’ll follow you to protect you. That place is so dangerous, I can’t bear you being there alone," Yin Yang said determinedly, surprised by how magical the Reincarnation Jade was.

"What about the kids? Should we take them with us?" Xu Mumu wasn’t surprised by Yin Yang’s answer, but she worried about the kids.

"Let them decide for themselves. Right now, we need to charge this pendant fully, which won’t be done in just a day or a year. By the time it’s done, the kids might be grown and have their own judgments," Yin Yang replied after some thought.

"True, the little elf said I just need to avoid significant mood swings, and it wouldn’t be a problem to persist for twenty years." Xu Mumu thought so too, there’s still so much time, better focus on building her career first.

"That’s good." Yin Yang felt relieved and then discussed their plans with Xu Mumu.

Xu Mumu remembered the developments over the next few decades and the possible disasters to come, which could all charge her Reincarnation Jade, so it definitely needed to be well managed.

Xu Mumu lay on the bed for several days, her shoulder scar fell off, and now it had completely healed, leaving just some surgical marks, which would likely disappear completely in time.

Since Xu Mumu and Yin Yang discussed their plans, Yin Yang became even busier. Previously, due to Xu Mumu’s injury, Yin Yang caught the Yun Ji family, and now he’s completely taken over the Yun Family’s industry.

Now, to do good deeds, he integrated these industries and established a charity foundation, hired professional lawyers and his own team to manage this foundation. What he had in abundance wasn’t much else but enough money for generations.

According to Xu Mumu’s suggestion, this money would be used to support impoverished areas and those suffering from severe illnesses and economic hardships.

Various poverty indicators were established in schools everywhere, along with numerous rewards.

Besides this, Yin Yang also invested his money into local economic developments, building bridges and roads, creating many job opportunities, improving many people’s lives.

Xu Mumu wasn’t idle either. Every day she recalled the technologies she knew, jotting them down in notebooks, which were later famous scientific achievements. Despite stealing others’ ideas, having these would significantly advance the country’s scientific capabilities.

Future scientific talents should really focus on researching more profound subjects.

Both of them were so busy that even Huo Qingze noticed the commotion they were causing.

The items Xu Mumu quietly sent were causing a massive sensation.

The authorities wanted to award her, but Xu Mumu declined. The commotion caused by their busy period was making changes in the pendant, the most notable being the material becoming more transparent.

The little elf told Xu Mumu that the pendant’s color would first be white, then green, and finally purple.

If the pendant turns deep purple, they can take the whole family back.

It took Xu Mumu two years to finally think of all the technologies she knew and submit them. During those two years, the two little ones could run everywhere, and the pendant was finally showing more green, which delighted the couple.

"Big Brother, I want to read ’Three Hundred Tang Poems’ today." Congcong didn’t want to hear stories this time; his brother always wanted to listen to Journey to the West, which he practically memorized.

"No, no, I want to hear Journey to the West." Young Ruirui was displeased; Journey to the West was so interesting, why doesn’t elder brother like it? Little Douding felt very dejected.

Xu Mumu stretched lazily, listening to the voices of the children outside, the corners of her lips curled slightly; she hadn’t done enough.

She remembered droughts would occur in the second half of the year, and various supplies had already been prepared with Yin Yang, including plans underway for artificial rain, just waiting for the drought to arrive.

Seeing the carefree appearances of the children, Xu Mumu felt motivated.

In these two years, the country’s development speed was extremely rapid, and Xu Mumu and Yin Yang’s contributions were crucial.

Just as Xu Mumu finished tidying up the room, she received a call; it was Yu Xinyao calling, Xu Mumu was curious as to why she thought of calling.

"Mumu, I’m planning to resign," came Yu Xinyao’s voice from the phone.
